Joshua 14

ve'elleh asher-nakhalu vene-yisra'el be'erets kena'an asher nikhalu otam elazar hakkohen vihoshua bin-nun verashe avot hammattot livne yisra'el

And these are the allotments of the Israelites in the land of Canaan, that were apportioned to them by the priest Eleazar, by Joshua son of Nun, and by the family heads of the Israelite tribes,

begoral nakhalatam ka'asher tsivvah Adonai beyad-mosheh letishat hammattot vakhatsi hammatteh

the portions that fell to them by lot, as GOD had commanded through Moses for the nine and a half tribes.

ki-natan mosheh nakhalat shene hammattot vakhatsi hammatteh me'ever layyarden velalviyyim lo-natan nakhalah betokham

For the portion of the other two and a half tribes had been assigned to them by Moses on the other side of the Jordan. He had not assigned any portion among them to the Levites;

ki-hayu vene-yosef shene mattot menasheh ve'efrayim velo-natenu kheleq lalviyyim ba'arets ki im-arim lashevet umigreshehem lemiqnehem uleqinyanam

for whereas the descendants of Joseph constituted two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, the Levites were assigned no share in the land, but only some towns to live in, with the pastures for their livestock and cattle.

ka'asher tsivvah Adonai et-mosheh ken asu bene yisra'el vayyakhlequ et-ha'arets

Just as GOD had commanded Moses, so the Israelites did when they apportioned the land.

vayyiggeshu vene-yehudah el-yehoshua baggilgal vayyomer elayw kalev ben-yefunneh haqqenizzi attah yadata et-haddavar asher-dibber Adonai el-mosheh ish-ha'elohim al odotay ve'al odotekha beqadesh barnea

The Judahites approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him: “You know what instructions GOD gave at Kadesh-barnea to Moses, the agent of God, concerning you and me.

ben-arba'im shanah anokhi bishloakh mosheh eved-Adonai oti miqqadesh barnea leraggel et-ha'arets va'ashev oto davar ka'asher im-levavi

I was forty years old when Moses the servant of GOD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I gave him a forthright report.

ve'akhay asher alu immi himsiv et-lev ha'am ve'anokhi milleti akhare Adonai elohay

While my companions who went up with me took the heart out of the people, I was loyal to my ETERNAL God.

vayyishava mosheh bayyom hahu lemor im-lo ha'arets asher darekhah raglekha bah lekha tihyeh lenakhalah ulevanekha ad-olam ki milleta akhare Adonai elohay

On that day, Moses promised on oath, ‘The land on which your foot trod shall be a portion for you and your descendants forever, because you were loyal to my ETERNAL God.’

ve'attah hinneh hekheyah Adonai oti ka'asher dibber zeh arba'im vekhamesh shanah me'az dibber Adonai et-haddavar hazzeh el-mosheh asher-halakh yisra'el bammidbar ve'attah hinneh anokhi hayyom ben-khamesh ushemonim shanah

Now GOD has preserved me, just as promised. It is forty-five years since GOD made this promise to Moses, when Israel was journeying through the wilderness; and here I am today, eighty-five years old.

odenni hayyom khazaq ka'asher beyom sheloakh oti mosheh kekhokhi az ukhekhokhi attah lammilkhamah velatset velavo

I am still as strong today as on the day that Moses sent me; my strength is the same now as it was then, for battle and for activity.

ve'attah tenah-lli et-hahar hazzeh asher-dibber Adonai bayyom hahu ki attah-shamata vayyom hahu ki-anaqim sham ve'arim gedolot betsurot ulay Adonai oti vehorashtim ka'asher dibber Adonai

So assign to me this hill country as GOD promised on that day. Though you too heard on that day that Anakites are there and great fortified cities, if only GOD is with me, I will dispossess them, as GOD promised.”

vayevarekhehu yehoshua vayyitten et-khevron lekhalev ben-yefunneh lenakhalah

So Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and assigned Hebron to him as his portion.

al-ken hayetah-khevron lekhalev ben-yefunneh haqqenizzi lenakhalah ad hayyom hazzeh ya'an asher mille akhare Adonai elohe yisra'el

Thus Hebron became the portion of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, as it still is, because he was loyal to the ETERNAL, the God of Israel.—

veshem khevron lefanim qiryat arba ha'adam haggadol ba'anaqim hu veha'arets shaqetah mimmilkhamah

The name of Hebron was formerly Kiriath-arba: [Arba] was the great man among the Anakites. And the land had rest from war.
